Birmingham Ghost Walk

Birmingham, Alabama - April 21, 2012 - Who knew that Birmingham's historic downtown could take on an entirely different character after dark? Many of the historic locations in the downtown area are reported to be haunted. So move over Sloss Furnace, there is more to our city's night(after)life than just Theophilus Jowers and all his spirit cohorts.

The Birmingham Ghost Walk is a casual guided walk that lasts about 90 minutes or so through the heart of the downtown area. Spooky tales of the paranormal history of Birmingham are revealed on this exciting and fun tour. The Birmingham Ghost Walk takes you to some of the most notable historic places in the city and blends humor and surprising historical facts and human interest along with our most enduring legends and haunted tales to give you an opportunity to experience it for yourself.
Beginning in Linn Park, by the Linn-Henley Research Library (our first haunted location) with some rituals to get "in the spirit" so to speak. Then winding our way toward the Alabama and Lyric Theatres with stops along the way to discuss brothels, taverns and townhouses long gone, but not forgotten by their former inhabitants. People have reported feeling or hearing something near them in these places that can’t be seen! Many things have been experienced that can’t be explained such as loud banging sounds or light ghostly touches. During practice runs, The Birmingham Ghost Walk has proven over and over again that we may not be alone on our tour. The tour winds its way back around to the Redmont Hotel and Ridgley Apartments (now the Tutwieler Hotel) for a discussion about not answering the knock at room 604.

If you think you know about Birmingham's ghosts, take the tour and and have the veil between worlds pulled back a bit more....
